likewise How do you increase Raider settlement population? First of all, you have to keep them happy. Places to sleep, drugs and the transmitter are a must-have if you want your outpost to grow.

High population settlements cost more to enslave for a reason - they provide more food and building materials. Building up your Settlements before turning them into vassals, you can feed more raiders with fewer vassals. This allows you to make more raider settlements and get much more food from the daily tribute.

Why do you need outposts with raider dealers?

Having well-populated Outposts with raider dealers set up (shops) will give you access to more money, whether from tribute chests or from simply being able to sell loot in that town. You should strike a balance between having Settlements to supply your outposts and actually conquered outposts. This prevents you having to put your raider goons to work and ensures they have enough food. Naturally, more supplies should come in as well.

How to get settlements to supply your outposts?

One option is to go all out attack - kill all the Minutemen that arrive to protect an outpost and bring the Settlers down to 0 health, then talk to their representative to secure the settlement as a supplier of food and materials. As with the conquest of a settlement to claim it as a raider outpost, you can also talk them into supplying you. The odds go up in your favor if you have Outposts nearby and Nuka World Radio Transmitters should still help with intimidation.

Improving Settlements beforehand will make more Settlers move in than, for example, if you had only 2-3 beds and a lone water pump.

Building up your Settlements before turning them into vassals, you can feed more raiders with fewer vassals. This allows you to make more raider settlements and get much more food from the daily tribute.
